    Rear Diff Smells like a Sewer PLUS: ID these diff parts???

    Those are the remains of the Gov-lock. It will eventually shed bigger parts which will lodge in the ring gear and explode the differential. Why on earth did you find chunks and then put it back together????? Rick

    New MEP-003A owner & Genset newbie

    I can tell you that Xylene works great on the fuel varnish. Carb cleaner makes it even stickier! Don't even think of your parts washer!!!!!! Be sure to clean all of the fuel pump screens. Rick

    4th Annual WWII and Veterans Weekend June 17th, 18th, 19th 2011

    OK, I did some looking at the differences between the shows and I see that the one by Joe and Paul has an SM after it which from what I can gather is called a Michigan Service Mark. I do not really know what that is. I get the impression that maybe they ran the show for a bit and now are not...

    4th Annual WWII and Veterans Weekend June 17th, 18th, 19th 2011

    WHOA! Easy there Hatman. I have a very open mind. As I read the first part of your reply I was very interested in the other side of the story, then you slammed the door with the second part! I have kids, there is ALWAYS another side to the story. I only posted that as an observation not a fact...

    This showed up on the G838 board also so I did a little searching and I came up with this note from the Arsenal of defense website. Read paragraph two and three. Sounds like a little conflict there with ex members? Arsenal of Democracy Motorpool Official Correspondence...

    Carnac, Tried to find you but every time I headed your way I got side tracked by something or somebody. I was right next to Maddawg and he told me where to look for you but................ Oh well, there is always next year. Rick

    Bringing to Aberdeen 2011

    Keep in mind that it was raining Saturday morning and the forecast was for heavy rain later in the day. I think that influenced some of the vendors. I had a buyer for an item my neighbor had but he never even set up on Sat. so the item did not get sold. I did notice a couple of vendors missing...

    Bringing to Aberdeen 2011

    Well the trip home was much better than the trip down. Lost a trailer bearing and spent 4 hours on the side of 295 repairing it. I want to thank Dudley for setting me up with the spot and I will definitely be back for next year. The food was fantastic. I did not get to meet as many SS guys as I...

    welder purchase questions

    If you go with a Lincoln 180 series make sure you get the 180C. The "C" stands for commercial and has a MUCH higher duty cycle. You will not find the C at Lowes or Home Depot, You will have to go to a welding supply. Unless you are welding 1/2" a lot then the 180C is a really good machine. Rick

    Travis, I am sorry if I upset you, that was not my intention. I am not questioning your credentials and I want to thank you for your service to the country. I did not come here for a fight, I fought my battles many years ago in a jungle far away. I apologize to anyone I have offended here. Over...

    Travis, Please tell me you do not believe what you find on Google?! Ask most anyone over 55 if they have done this. I do not know how old you are but you really need to think outside of the engineering box. I am not going to continue to debate it. If I have time I will copy the section in the...

    Rapco paint at Aberdeen?

    Army jeep parts will have it but as was said, they sell out fast. There may be other places to get Gillespie paint but at the show, no hazmat. Yes you pay a little more for it but nowhere what you pay for a hazmat delivery charge. Rick

    Locking Diff

    OK, This will be my last post on this subject because I can see the mechanical engineer in you is not looking at this with an open mind. I am not saying that holding the brake will give you an instant locker. What I am saying is this, IF your brakes are adjusted correctly and you apply some, not...
